While the new age of quantum information will augment our minds and bodies, possibly beyond recognition, the quality and content of our character will, for better or worse, remain our own.
At Miraval, Life in Balance, guests are invited to try any number of "challenge" activities--balancing a feather on the palm of the hand, climbing (while tethered) the 25-foot Quantum Leap pole and then jumping off, learning to approach a horse and pick up its hooves.
He would spend the next three decades, ending with some equations scribbled while on his deathbed in 1955, stubbornly criticizing what he regarded as the incompleteness of quantum mechanics while attempting to subsume it into a unified field theory.
And while the jury remains out on the question of whether recent quantum leaps in information technology have boosted productivity or not, particularly in America, producers have moved on to think about where their next boost is going to come from.
The new sets add features like NFC, MHL and Miracast support to certain models, while the top of the line W900A is its first to use Quantum Dot technology in combination with edge LED lighting.
Researchers at Griffith University have managed to snap the first image of a single atom's shadow and, while the dark spot may be physically small, the implications for the field of quantum computing are huge.
ENGADGET: Researchers capture a single atom's shadow, has implications for quantum computers
Canada's First Quantum Minerals started production at the Kansanshi mine last year, while a Chinese state-owned company has invested in the Chambishi mine.
While not as overtly exciting or dramatic as the teleportation of an actual person, such quantum teleportation nonetheless has enormous implications for the world of computing both in terms of the amount of information that can be stored and the speed with which it can be moved around.
While Professor O'Brien said he is confident that such waveguides are the logical choice for future optical quantum computers, he added that there is still a significant amount of work to do before they make it out of the laboratory.
This ability would allow a quantum computer to do the mathematical heavy-lifting required for, say, cracking secret codes, while even the fastest and most advanced supercomputers plod along on the same problem.
Question: Why has the quantum realm of computers, the Internet and biotechnology evolved so fast during the last 30 years, while progress in the big physical world of farms, buildings, ships, cars, trucks and airplanes has slowed compared with that made in the first half of the 20th century?
